TSG - Triggered Spark Gap

TSG - Triggered Spark Gap Print this page

The TSG is a vented spark gap with triggering circuit that typically allows let-through voltage of less than 1500V to be achieved. The superior follow current performance allows the TSG to be used on "active" circuits such as L-L, L-N, L-PE as well as N-PE. The high surge rating is ideal for Neutral-Earth bonding of TT power systems, as per IEC 60364-5-534.

Features

Triggering air gap technology provides low let-through voltage - offers superior protection compared to traditional spark gaps
Effective equipotential bonding - provides N-PE equilization protection bond on TT power distribution systems
Meets IEC® 61643-1 test class I, II
Can be used L-PE, or L-N due to follow current control

Applications

Ideal for installation into electrical panels or equipment. Allows protection of TT, TN-C, TN-S and TN-C-S systems.
